Read an interview with Division 6 Coordinator Tuija Sievänen of the Natural
Resources Institute Finland, about the work in IUFRO Division 6 and the
All-Division Meeting at the IUFRO 125th Anniversary Congress.
The range of topics covered by Division 6 is broad and goes into all kinds
of issues related to the cultural and social aspects of forestry and
forests. This research can offer valuable input for the understanding of the
foresthuman relationship.
Division 6 had many good sessions at the Congress and there were a lot of
social aspects integrated into other sessions outside the Division. It is
good progress to see social sciences having such a large role in forest
sciences. Social issues are of growing interest in the forestry sector, and
the interest will continue to grow and a broad spectrum of research will be
done on those issues in future.
